I think the president struck a different tone today...

[christiefan915]

... but then again, I am a goldfish.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone sound so soberly presidential as President Donald J. Trump did today at his coronavirus briefing, but then again, I am a goldfish and I have no recollection of anything that happened more than three seconds ago.*

What the president said really showed that he had always taken the crisis seriously — and he certainly has for as long as I can recall, which, again, is not more than three seconds. Time barely exists for me. I live suspended in an eternal present, in which there is no Before and no After, only the Now, and wow — a castle! This is new!

But I must say: In this pastless, futureless, contextless void, I am really proud of the way the White House is dealing with this crisis and has dealt with it from the very beginning of my recollection (two seconds ago). They have always handled this disease with the level of gravity it deserved.

With no memory of anything that has happened before the past three seconds, I think the president is so absolutely right to correct people who think the coronavirus is just a flu. I cannot imagine who would say such a wrong thing. Those who downplay the virus and suggest it will go away without costing hundreds of thousands of lives are a danger, so we are lucky the president continues to bring the sober tone appropriate to the occasion, say I, a goldfish for whom all time is a blur and to whom each new event comes as a surprise, without precedent or consequence.

*For goldfish scientists: I AM TAKING SOME LIBERTIES HERE! I am sorry!

Goldfish and Trump, same color, same capacity to reason

I think he’s depressed and they have him heavily medicated

...or he saw the unemployment numbers shoot to over 6,000,000 and he shit himself so badly in front of his staff he was deeply embarrassed. No worries, after a half dozen Big Macs, he'll be back to normal.

Some goldfish are black. He doesn't feed them.

Let's take it so seriously that we utterly and totally destroy the Western economies and hand everything over to fuckers like Xi Jinping. No doubt you'll be truly ecstatic because you've all shown your PC credentials and not been tempted to call them Chinese cunts!!

I wonder what percentage of Trumptards will read that and totally miss the sarcasm....

It was a sarcasm jackhammer. To answer, all of them.

When I finished reading it to my goldfish, they were insulted.

Of course he did, the virus is now seriously threatening Red States, the voters who previously believed Trump when he said he had it under control, everything will be fine by Easter, etc..

Watch, if it moves quickly into his base suddenly Trump will be all cooperative with Governors, making sure they get whatever they want when they want it

Lol, sure guy that thought it was a hoax, you run with that if it helps your delusions.

All of them. They still don’t understand why more populated areas have more COVID, they aren’t the sharpest tools in the box.

I have yet to see even one acknowledged liberal on here issue even a mild rebuke to the Chinese. You are so terrified of being labelled racist that you just can't do it! I however have absolutely no qualms in that score. There will be a huge reckoning to come, the Chinese will not know what's hit them. Of course if bumbling Biden was to win then it's game over, Xi and his pals will take him to the cleaners.
